coresystems delivers Web client solution to MISAPOR

MISAPOR, a Swiss manufacturer of construction materials, uses an SAP Business One installation augmented with an integrated Web client and mobile ERP access. For the integrated mobile solution, coresystems AG took home gold in the 2010 Best of Swiss Silverlight awards, which are handed out every year by Microsoft and the Best of Swiss Web Association.

Using their laptops and smartphones, MISAPOR employees can access a portal that resembles an online store to coordinate material orders and shipments. Each country can connect its own ERP system, and the solution automatically stores orders in the corresponding country’s SAP client.

Every field sales employee processes orders according to the same procedure through the solution’s Silverlight interface. Meanwhile, MISAPOR’s workforce uses coresuite mobile to call up business data whenever necessary, such as on their iPhones. The information is also available offline and can be updated at any time through the coresuite cloud.

Steeb offering incentive to switch ERP systems

Customers willing to replace their outdated ERP systems – even those developed in-house – with a modern SAP solution now have another reason to switch in Steeb GmbH’s recovery premium.

With banks still proving reluctant to issue loans despite the ever-improving atmosphere in Germany’s economy, this offer represents Steeb’s effort to provide companies with an incentive to invest in IT. Those interested have until December 31, 2010 to take advantage.
